The case of a Hickman catheter-related bacteremia caused by Gordonia sputi in a patient with breast cancer is presented. Blood cultures grew a Gram-positive rod, susceptible to several antimicrobials, subsequently identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing as Gordonia sputi. The infection resolved after
Five cases of catheter-related bacteremia caused by Gordonia terrae are reported. All patients who also had the primary diagnosis of cancer experienced nonneutropenic fever as a result of G. terrae infection. All patients were treated successfully with antibiotics, with the requirement of catheter
Nine new triterpenoid saponins named longicarposides A-I (1-9), together with three known saponins (10-12), were isolated from the stems of Gordonia longicarpa. The structures of the saponins were elucidated by a combination of 1D and 2D NMR techniques, mass spectrometry, and chemical methods. They
Eleven oleanane-type triterpenoid glycosides, named gordonsaponins A-K, were isolated from the stems of Gordonia kwangsiensis. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical methods. The cytotoxic activities of all eleven were evaluated against five human tumor cell lines (HCT-8,
Eight new oleanane triterpenoid glycosides, gordonosides A-H (1-8), were isolated from a 50% EtOH extract of the roots of Gordonia chrysandra. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis, including 1D and 2D NMR and ESIMS, and by chemical methods. Among these substances, compounds 1,
Gordonia is a catalase-positive, aerobic, nocardioform, Gram-positive staining actinomycete that also shows weak acid-fast staining. Several Gordonia species are commonly found in the soil. The bacterium has been isolated from the saliva of domesticated/wild dogs as well. In hospitalized patients,
An ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) method was adopted to extract natural antioxidants from edible Gordonia axillaris fruit. Single-factor experiments and response surface methodology were conducted to investigate the influences of five different parameters on antioxidant capacity. The
